Objective To analyze the impact of different lifestyle behaviors on the rapid decline in cognitive function within 6 months among the elderly with mild cognitive impairment（MCI） in the community. Methods From March 2023 to January 2024，a convenient sampling method was used to select elderly people with MCI from 2 community health service centers of Beijing as the research subjects. They were followed up for 6 months，and the data on general information，life behaviors，and changes in cognitive function were collected. They were divided into a cognitive decline group and a non-decline group based on whether there were reliable changes in clinical cognitive function. Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of short-term cognitive decline in MCI elderly. Results A total of 385 MCI elderly people were successfully followed up in this study，and 113（29.4%） showed cognitive decline. Logistic regression analysis revealed that life behaviors such as frequent passive cognitive activities，depressive symptoms，and poor sleep quality are independent risk factors for rapid cognitive decline in elderly individuals with MCI over a short period （P<0.05）. Conversely，higher educational levels and good social activities are protective factors（P<0.05）. Conclusion The incidence of rapid cognitive decline is relatively high among MCI elderly people in the community. We should actively guide MCI elderly people to establish healthy lifestyle behaviors，such as engaging in social activities，reducing passive cognitive activities，maintaining a good psychological state，and ensuring good sleep quality，so as to delay or even reverse their cognitive decline.

Objective Meta modelling was employed to develop a risk prediction model for intradialytic hypotension（IDH） and validate the model. Methods Literature on risk factors for IDH published up to March 31，2023 was retrieved from 8 databases，including Cochrane Library，PubMed，Web of Science，EBSCO，Scopus，CINAHL，CNKI and Wanfang Database. Random effects model was used to combine ORs，and factors with P<0.05 were selected to establish the model based on their regression coefficients. 286 maintenance hemodialysis patients were selected as a validation cohort to evaluate the model’s discrimination，calibration and clinical utility. Results 39 studies were included，involving 25 546 patients. 14 factors were identified to establish the risk prediction model. The risk score for IDH occurrence was calculated as -0.301 × male+0.015 × age+0.004 × dialysis vintage+0.988 × diabetes+0.730 × cardiovascular disease-0.042 × predialysis systolic blood pressure+0.666 × dialysis mode of hemodialysis filter+0.076 × temperature+0.159 × ultrafiltration rate+0.476 × ultrafiltration volume+1.024 × weight gain between dialysis+0.053 × serum phosphorus+0.023 × blood urea nitrogen+0.040 × β₂-microglobulin. Definition in the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guideline，nadir intradialytic systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg（1 mmHg=0.133 kPa），falling intradialytic systolic blood pressure ≥20 mmHg，and definition in the United Kingdom Kidney Association guideline were selected as 4 outcomes. The areas under the curve for the prediction model with respect to these 4 outcomes were 0.830，0.648，0.647，and 0.763，respectively. Calibration curves showed that the model predictive outcomes were consistent with actual outcomes for the first 2 outcomes（χ²=14.824，P=0.064；χ²=12.016，P=0.149）. Decision curve analysis indicated that the model had better net benefit compared to either intervention/no intervention for all definitions. Conclusion The IDH risk prediction model developed by meta-modeling in this study has good predictive performance and certain application value.

Mixed methods systematic review（MMSR） is a type of review that comprehensively integrates qualitative and quantitative data to produce evidence to guide decision-making on a topic. This paper reviewed the application，method classification，specific implementation steps，and other methodological content of MMSR. At the same time，literature retrieval was used to analyze the published MMSR-related literature. According to the review results，MMSR can be divided into 2 main types：convergent approach and sequential approach. The domestic application started late and mainly focused on the patient’s physiological and emotional status. Therefore，the application scope of this method should be continuously expanded in medical and nursing in the future to adapt to social development and practical needs and continue to promote the development of MMSR standardization.

Premature infants often present with inadequate pulmonary development and are susceptible to chronic respiratory conditions，including bronchopulmonary dysplasia and cystic fibrosis，which necessitate extended periods of oxygen therapy. The implementation of home oxygen therapy has been shown to reduce hospitalization durations and facilitate pulmonary maturation. However，challenges such as excessive oxygen administration and premature discontinuation of therapy pose significant clinical risks. In this review，we critically evaluate the current practices and methodologies associated with home oxygen therapy for premature infants，offering comprehensive insights and strategic recommendations. Our objective is to advance the understanding of neonatal care practitioners and to support the establishment of evidence-based guidelines for the management of home oxygen.
